"Gumption,, of CITY Bows.

1t seems to me that there is III our days
a breed of youngsters with minds quick
ened to a degree uneQualed III their
predecessors. l know scores of these
boys, the like of whom [ knew not in my
own boyhood-alert, sharp witted, know
ing and full Of that quality which used
to be called "gumption. - Their growth
in this city appears to be promoted
mainly by three things. Firstly, by the
tremendous energy of New York life,
which prompts an early development of
the faculties, stimulates their action and
tends to what is known as level headed
ness. Secondly, by the common school
system. Go into these schools, look at
the discipline, scan the text books, watch
the mental drill, and then see how the
mind and manners must be affected i'll
the formative period between z and IA.
Thirdly, by the daily papers. Multitudes
of youngsters read other sheets nowadays
beside the weekly story tellers, as every
body is aware who keeps his eyes open
about town. Thus they get a smattering
of knowledge Of current affairs, social
progress, political, business and practical
life that works profoundly upon their
nature. These three agencies, it seems TO
me, are fertilizing the boyish brain in
wonderful way.-John SwintOn in Kan

simple Cures in Mexico.

At Mexican table fruit is invariably
taken before dessert, the people saying,
certainly with much reason, that its
more delicate flavor is impaired by the
stronger sweets of the dessert. From
this astronomical point one glides by Il
not unnatural transition to certain phases
of physical interest, namely, the employ
ment Of curative herbs and simpleS-
tisanes, as the French say. OF course.
this is not to be very effectively applied
for expeditions results in acute extremi-
ties. 1t would scarcely prove adequate
TO the occasion in case Of cholera or an
encounter with a buzz saw, but for mild
forms Of illness 1t is certainly right com
mendable.

The Battle of GraveIotte.

OF all the battles | have witnessed, the bat
tie of Gravelotte was the most terrible The
French occupied the heights, which the Ger
mans tried to carry. The fighting was done
in valley, which became one seethinG mass
of men, fighting, wounded and dead The
French kept up perfect hail of lead on the
German regiments, which were cut down as
fast as they were marched on to the scene.
Defeat seemed to stare the Germans in the
face, but the men fought on for hours. At
last when all seemed lost and as dusk was
quickly settling down over that hot summer
days scene, the Prussian king, now the EN-
peror William, came forward and showed
himself to the men. He sat down on a board
y&th his back to a church wall on the top of
a hill and watched the fight One end of the
board was ON a dead horse and one on a
broken cart. The men saw him. and, cheer
ing maGly, again and again dashed them
selves against the French heights.
Night settled down and stil the fight went
on. The king sat in silence, watching through
ths smoke. Bismarck sat at his side bag
gard and troubled. For hours they sat
thus, the battle gradually getting further and
further away. At last the sound Of a horses
hoofs was heard and a horseman dashed out of
the gloom and dismounted in front Of the
king. 1t was Moltke. For once he was ex-
cited. His face cleaning with excitement,
he said: 1T is good for US; We have carried
all" The king said: God be thanked Bis

fills Summer Voice.

In another English opera company,
formed for the summer months, it was
found that the tenors were too light for
the rest of the chorus. The manager pro
tested that there were voices enough, and
one of the singers were questioned why
he did not sing with more force. He re
piled that c., the leader of the tenors,
didn't, and that if c. would not sing out,
he was not inclined to strain his throat to
do the work of two. c. was thereupon
interviewed, and his answer to the re-
mOnstrances of the manager was:
Il am paid summer wages and I re
fuse to sing III anything but my summer
voice"
1t was thought that a singer who con
cerned himself chiefly about the preserva-
ton of his voice for the regular season
was hardly the man to lead in a warm
weather troupe, and the engagement of {.
and his summer voice came to speedy
termination. Boston Cor. Providence
